A 1,060 kg meteor strikes the surface of the Moon. What is the work done (in J) on the meteor by the gravitational field of the Moon, if we assume the meteor comes from deep space? The work done by the Moon's gravitational field is equal to the negative of the change of potential energy of the meteor-Moon system. You can assume the meteor comes from infinitely far. What is the final distance of the meteor, if it lands on the Moon's surface? You will need to look up two physical characteristics of the Moon to solve this problem. J
